ARVID HÄUSSER

PRODUCT DESIGN

The hand operated coffeemill Kasper works with a visible planetary gear. This gear makes grinding coffee stunningly smooth and easy. The wall mounting feature saves workspace and reduces the strength needed.
All porcelain parts are light-tight and tasteless, making them ideal for storing coffee beans and powder.
The tank is built to hold 250 grams of coffee beans and the collecting vessel´s volume is made for four cups of coffee. Kasper will be available in two different versions. One version is a ready-to-use product, which can be easily mounted on the wall and quickly starts grinding. Alternatively, for those eager to get deep insights in the mechanics behind their morning coffee, Kasper comes in a do-it-yourself construction kit.

All wooden components are made of layered and watered Ashwood making them very elastic. With the help of traction elements the wardrobe achieves its high stability
and unique look. Clamp-connections are used for easy installation and dismounting without the need for tools.
The minimal material usage leads to an extremely low total weight of only 3.27 kg.

Axially symmetric glass jars designed in a clear and reduced shape.
The used color triggers association with fresh water and gives the jars a cool look.
The colored details are identical on the carafe and the glasses, making them recognizable as a set.
The volume of the carafe is 0.5 liter which equals four of the glasses.
